Release - Federal Employee Occupational Safety and Health (FEOSH) Self-Assessment COMPACT DISK (CD)

A CD entitled ?FEOSH Self-Assessment? has been developed to provide Department of Energy (DOE) organizational elements with a cost-effective corporate tool to gauge and assess FEOSH programs against the regulatory foundation reflected in 29 CFR Part 1960, Basic Program Elements for Federal Employee Occupational Safety and Health Programs and Related Matters, and mandated by Congress with the enactment of Public Law 91-596, Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act), and directed by Executive Order 12196, Occupational Safety and Health Programs for Federal Employees and DOE Directive, DOE O 440.1A, Worker Protection Management for DOE Federal and Contractor Employees.

The DOE FEOSH Self-Assessment process enables organizational elements to assess: the extent to which the Federal employee occupational safety and health program is institutionalized and owned by line management and the employees; program effectiveness and functionality in terms of timely and proactive recognition and correction of existing and emerging safety and health issues and hazards; programmatic completeness and comprehensiveness as benchmarked against the requirements of 29 CFR 1960 and DOE O 440.1A; and finally, evaluation of program completeness and maturity as measured against current regulations.
